Mood Check-in Guide ​

📋 Overview ​

Expense Tracker: Koala (“Koala”) provides a “Mood card” on the Overview page, so you can quickly record your mood each day while tracking expenses and review it in a monthly view. It’s a good fit if you want to keep an eye on both your spending and how you feel, or if you want to build a daily check-in habit.

🚀 How to Record Your Mood ​

  1. Open Expense Tracker: Koala and go to the “Overview” page in the bottom navigation bar
  2. Find the “Mood card” (for the current month, if you haven’t recorded today yet, three options appear at the bottom of the card)
  3. Tap Happy / Neutral / Sad to record today’s mood

📝 Note:

  • You can only record once per day (based on the calendar day)
  • Once today’s mood is recorded, the options no longer appear that day, and it cannot be edited or deleted inside the app
  • You can only record the mood for “today”; backfilling or editing past dates is not supported

📅 View the Monthly Calendar ​

The mood card shows the current month’s records:

  • The top shows the number of recorded days / total days for the month, plus today’s mood
  • Below, a grid shows each day of the month: recorded days are colored by mood (one color each for Happy / Neutral / Sad), and unrecorded days are shown in a light color
  • Future dates are not shown

💡 Tip: When you switch the Overview page to another month, the card shows that month’s records (without the “today” information).

🎨 Personalization ​

Go to “Settings” → “Personalization” to adjust mood-related options:

  • Show mood card: toggle whether the mood card appears on the Overview page (shown by default)
  • Mood colors: customize the colors for the three moods (Happy / Neutral / Sad)

📝 Note: The mood colors also apply to the heatmap generated by “Statistics page → Share → Mood records”.

📤 Share Mood Records ​

  1. Open the “Statistics” page in the bottom navigation bar
  2. At the bottom of the page, tap “Share this page >”
  3. In the menu that appears, choose “Mood records”
  4. After the mood heatmap is generated, send or save it via the system share sheet

⚠️ Note:

  • “Mood records” sharing is only available when the time dimension is “Monthly” or “Yearly” (the option is not shown for a custom time range)
  • Mood records are independent of bill data and do not affect bill statistics

🔄 Multi-Device Sync ​

  • After signing in: mood records sync with your account — sign in with the same account on multiple devices and you will see the same mood records
  • When not signed in: mood records are only stored on this device, and cannot be recovered after uninstalling or switching devices

📝 Mood records sync by account and are independent of ledger data.

🔧 FAQ ​

Q1: I recorded the wrong mood — can I change it? ​

You can only record once per day, and after recording it cannot be edited or deleted inside the app. Please confirm before recording.

Q2: Can I backfill the mood for the past few days? ​

Currently you can only record the mood for “today”; backfilling or editing past dates is not supported.

Q3: Why can’t I see the mood card on the Overview page? ​

Please check whether “Settings” → “Personalization” → “Show mood card” is enabled.

Q4: Are my mood records still there after switching devices? ​

If you are signed in and have completed a sync, reinstalling and signing in with the same account restores them via account sync; if you are not signed in, the data is stored only on this device.
